Venezuela sends in military units as protests continue
- Government stopped short of calling a state of emergency or suspending civil liberties in Tachira
- Jailed opposition leader may face more than 10 years in prison for his role in a student demonstration
- Students have vowed to continue their demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro
SAN CRISTOBAL, Venezuela — The country's embattled government said it was sending military units to the southwestern state of Tachira to restore order as supporters of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez continued to protest Thursday.
However, the government stopped short of calling a state of emergency or suspending civil liberties. Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said in a press conference that one airborne and one engineering battalion would be sent to Tachira, which borders Colombia.
The parachutists will occupy positions leading into the capital of San Cristobal, where demonstrations have paralyzed the city, Rodriguez Torres said.
"This is a measure to restore public order,'' Rodriguez Torres said. "This is not a militarization. We are also preparing special groups to go to violent torn areas. In a few days we will be able to have the situation stabilized."
The government has also banned the carrying of firearms throughout the state, he said. Internet in the state has been disrupted, but Rodriguez Torres said he didn't know what had caused it.
Until Thursday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government has tried to suppress more than two weeks of demonstrations and rioting with the country's National Guard and police. The use of the army marks an escalation of the conflict, which is presenting Maduro with his biggest political challenge since he was sworn in last April.
Meanwhile, Lopez may face more than 10 years in prison for his role in a student demonstration that left three people dead. Government prosecutors charged Lopez with arson, delinquency and conspiracy to promote delinquency during a preliminary hearing late Wednesday night at a military installation outside Caracas.
In an unusual twist, the presiding judge was taken to the Ramo Verde military camp in the central city of Los Teques, rather than holding the hearing in the court in Caracas, El Universal reported.
The location of the proceeding changed as Lopez supporters and opponents gathered at the court. Murder charges against Lopez were dropped.
Lopez, who surrendered to authorities Tuesday after addressing a rally by his supporters, will be held for 45 days while prosecutors collect evidence, the government said.
Neither Lopez nor his attorneys were immediately available for comment. Lopez, 42, has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing in the Feb. 12 protest.
"Leopoldo Lopez isn't going to be the person to save the country," Maduro said during a nationwide televised address before the court hearing began.
Maduro accused Lopez, a Harvard-educated former mayor of Caracas, of being head of Venezuela's "fascists." Maduro also said that the government had uncovered a plot by right-wingers to assassinate Lopez to provoke a civil war.
He gave no proof to his allegations. Maduro repeatedly accused the United States and former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe of backing students to overthrow him during his two-hour-long address.
On Thursday, Rodriguez Torres also blamed Uribe for meddling in the mounting violence in Tachira.
"We have detected Colombian personnel who have come to complete missions in the rioting,'' he said.
Maduro's speech provoked renewed protests throughout the country. Many Venezuelans began banging on pots and pans, a traditional form of protest, as Maduro spoke.
"In Venezuela they are applying a form of continuous coup d'etat to generate a spiral of hatred and justify a foreign military intervention,'' Maduro said. Throughout his speech, he played several videos showing violent acts by protesters, complete with ominous sounding music.
Students and their backers were again in the streets and built barricades in several cities, including the capital of Caracas on Thursday. Security forces were confronting students Thursday morning with tear gas to force them to abandon their positions, Globovision reported.
Venezuela, which has the world's largest oil reserves, has been convulsed by daily protests and demonstrations since the start of the month. The protests, which are being spearheaded by university students, have focused on the country's deteriorating economy, rampant crime and corruption, and the lack of job opportunities.
At least six people, including five students, have lost their lives in the protests.
Students have vowed to continue their demonstrations until the government changes it policies. The opposition has also scheduled a protest march for Saturday in Caracas.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski appealed to university students for calm on Thursday.
"Anarchy is the ally of the government,'' he told reporters. "Don't fall into that."
Capriles, who narrowly lost to Maduro in a special presidential election in April following the death of the late Hugo Chavez, said that the people promoting violence are government officials, who want Maduro out so that National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello can take power.
He denounced alleged torture and sexual abuse by the police and National Guard and called for an end to brutality by the security forces. He also called on Maduro to start talks with the opposition to end the crisis.
"This country is marching to an economic collapse,'' he said.

UNAIDS has launched a television and social media campaign to create a groundswell of support for the AIDS response in the lead-up to the United Nations (UN) General Assembly High Level Meeting on AIDS. This key meeting of UN Member States and civil society, from 8-10 June 2011, is an important opportunity for global leaders to move the AIDS agenda forward.
"The aim of this campaign is to reenergize the global AIDS movement and encourage leaders around the world to recommit to the goal of universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support," said Tim Martineau, UNAIDS Director of Programme Effectiveness and Country Support.
The campaign, called Move It!, uses the bicycle as a vehicle to raise awareness around HIV— the spinning wheels symbolizing the movement and force of the AIDS response. Designed by the Geneva-based branch of advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, simple animations on spinning bicycle wheels communicate the message: Zero new HIV infections, Zero discrimination, Zero AIDS-related deaths. As part of the campaign, a public service announcement will be broadcast across Africa.
"Through this campaign, people can decorate their own bikes with animations and share photos of their creations on the UNAIDS page of Facebook to support this great cause," said Leon Jacobs, a creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi. "We are pleased to support UNAIDS in their efforts to roll out this campaign across Africa and the world," he added.
UNAIDS fans on Facebook can vote for the "best bike" and winners be announced at the High Level Meeting in June.

If You Don't See It - Request It
At Applaws, we don't believe that cats should be fed on scraps, meat by-products and fillers. Instead, we believe that like the rest of the family, cats deserve to find only the best quality ingredients in their food.
So unlike other manufacturers, we simply insist that Applaws contains only the very best chicken breast, and Earth Island certified white meat tuna from sustainable sources, nothing else.
There's none of the additives and fillers you'll find in other so-called 'natural' cat foods. This means no Guar Gum, Dicalcium Phosphate, Choline Chloride or any other ingredients that aren't part of a cat's natural diet. If it isn't 100% natural, it isn't in Applaws.
Seventy five percent meat, with only three or four ingredients and no additives. Simple.
What's more, all natural protein is more palatable because it's what a cat's digestive system is designed for. Applaws is a great addition to a dry food diet, and complements a cat's current wet diet.

Northern Ireland
What you need to know before you go
Northern Ireland is the smallest and least visited country in the UK, made up of 6 counties in the northeast of Ireland. Depending on your age and outlook, you might associate Northern Ireland with its proud shipbuilding industry, its turbulent politics or its many set locations featured in Game of Thrones. Regardless, Northern Ireland is now an area on the up thanks to a host of regeneration projects and inward investment.
The capital city of Belfast is the cultural and economic hub of the country. The world's most famous ocean liner, RMS Titanic, was built here and there's an excellent museum devoted to it, while the nearby Medieval monument of Dunluce Castle ruin in County Antrim makes for a popular daytrip. Northern Ireland has an esteemed golfing pedigree with several local world champions and many excellent courses. Other iconic landmarks include the Giant's Causeway and the Glens of Antrim.
Northern Ireland的热门目的地下一站去哪里?
Belfast is best known to many around the world as the birthplace of the Titanic. Her story can be appreciated at the dockyards, whose Titanic Belfast takes visitors through the shipyard and to the bottom of the ocean using interactive galleries.
The capital has more to offer than just the legacy of the infamous passenger liner. Admire the 19th-century St George's Market, pick up a bargain at the CastleCourt shopping centre or catch a show at the Grand Opera House. Afterwards, you can dive into one of the cosy bars to linger over a pint before heading to one of the city's hip eateries.阅读更多内容

Omelet with Fine Herbs
By lorik
With few ingredients, the simplicity of this dish means the technique is what makes an exceptional omelet. There is a wonderful place in Los Angeles, Joans on Third where they make exceptional omelets. Joans secret (passed down from Dione Lucas) is to add water (instead of milk or cream) to make the omelet more light and fluffy. If the omelet doesnt seem to be working out, turn it into scrambled eggs with a simple quick stir.
Alex Guarnaschelli
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon tepid water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Hot sauce, to taste
- Worcestershire sauce, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped parsley leaves
- 1 small bunch chives, minced
- 1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped tarragon leaves
- Buttered toast slices
- 6-inch nonstick skillet
Servings 1
Cooking time 20mins
Adapted from foodnetwork.com
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You dont want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy. Put the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then, allow the eggs to cook, undisturbed for about 15 to 30 seconds. Sprinkle the herbs over the eggs.
Lift the handle of the pan up tilting the pan away from you and towards the heat. This tilting should cause the omelet to slide down in the pan a little. Fold the edge closest to you towards the center. Fold the other edge towards the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands, seam side down. Serve immediately with buttered toast slices.

Pet-friendly fixes for inside and out
Maintenance must-dos help keep your home and yard safe for your family's furriest members.
Pet friendly fixes for inside and out
For many of us, pets are full-fledged family members. And as pet "parents," it is our responsibility to provide a home where they can live and play safely — inside and out. Here are a few ways to make your home and yard as pet-friendly as possible.
While you cook & eat
- Use garbage cans with lids that close securely or lock, and keep the lids closed.
- Install child locks on lower cabinet doors.
- Store cleaning supplies and chemicals on upper shelves.
- Be aware of foods that can be poisonous to animals: grapes, raisins, chocolate and coffee grounds, among others.
As you clean up
- Keep toilet lids closed.
- Be sure that all medications, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, dryer sheets and other chemicals are out of reach.
- Store sharp objects, such as razors, up high.
- Close doors on dryers and washers.
Where you live & play
- Move or cover electrical cords that could be chewed.
- Pick up children's toys; small parts could be choking hazards, and batteries are toxic if eaten.
- Keep plants out of reach. Aloe vera, philodendron and others can be toxic to animals.
Out of the house
- Store sharp tools, chemicals and fertilizers high up.
- Clean up spilled or leaked antifreeze; even small amounts are very toxic to animals.
- Unplug and put away any power tools.
In your yard
- Check and repair fence boards that may be loose.
- Bury chicken wire to prevent pets from digging or escaping under fence boards.
- If you spray the yard with chemicals, fertilizers or herbicides, look for pet-safe options and/or follow manufacturer's directions.
- Consider barriers around flower beds, vegetable gardens and open water areas such as swimming pools.

Ben Jacobs was lucky enough to grow up in a house with a piano. As a child he protested about the lessons in which he was forced to learn the music of the famous (dead) composers. "I used to prefer sitting at the keyboard at home and playing tv theme songs and music from adverts," remembers Ben. Eventually he realised that this expanse of black and white keys could be turned to his own advantage and he began forming his own musical inventions.
One day, the teenage Ben bought a Commodore Amiga 500 home computer. Armed with this and one piece of music software, he began to explore the world of electronic composition. Eventually he got so good at using this cheap set-up that Warp Records released his first single "Children At Play." "Warp were the only label who were interested in my first tune," says Ben. "I sent my demo tape to fifty labels in all, but most people freaked out. A couple of guys made the bizarre criticism that I had too many ideas." This criticism has frequently dogged Max Tundra (as he was hereby renamed), in a musically diverse, eclectic career where time signatures, musical genres and instrumentation have been given the thorough shake-up they have long needed.
Parallax Error Beheads You, the third Max Tundra LP and his first since 2002's Mastered By Guy At The Exchange, is a masterpiece of micro-melodies and sound-bytes; a triumph of splicing, dicing and editing. It's an intricate mosaic of sounds and styles, some of which you might recognise from the last 30 years of pop, rock, prog, disco, funk, techno, rap, metal and soul, but many of which are completely new: either from a startling recombination of existing genres, or from Max inventing an original one himself. The attention to detail, and the sheer speed at which ideas whizz past you in the mix, will leave you stunned.
"Each song contains many facets and genres, and the starts of songs are often stylistically extremely different to how they each end up, touring via a few styles along the way," says the man himself, going some way towards explaining why there are multiple, simultaneous or sequential, melodies during each of the 10 tracks on Parallax, and why one song can sometimes sound like seven different bands from totally different worlds playing at once - "Glycaemic Index Blues," to name but one of the songs on the album, is like Yes playing glitch techno with Pharrell Williams fighting Todd Rundgren at the controls while Green Gartside offers his creamiest falsetto. Just call it cosmic glitch-pop R&B.
"There are micro-melodies on the album – generally, layers and layers of stuff," says Max. "Hopefully, the more you listen to it, the more new stuff will reveal itself, stuff you didn't notice the first few times you played it. It's intricate but that should mean it's more rewarding over the distance, so that people can go back to it and hear new things each time."
Mentioning that "Which Song" - earmarked as the second single from the album, following "Will Get Fooled Again" (which itself sounds like McFly in space) - sounds like Scritti Politti had they signed to Warp in 1991, Max admits, "I like the Scritti comparisons." For him, '80s pop isn't a Guilty Pleasure, it's an untapped resource. "Even Nik Kershaw – he's often dismissed as cheesy, but he also had really nice, catchy melodies that were quite Zappa-esque. I'm a big Zappa fan, and I also really like progressive stuff like Gentle Giant." Among numerous other things: on his MySpace he lists 100 bands that he loves, from Art Of Noise to Andrew Poppy to Ariel Pink to Akufen to Autechre to Architecture In Helsinki to Alan Braxe to Arthur Russell to A Certain Ratio. And that's just the A's…
As for the aaahs and ooohs - the luscious, smooth vocals – Max says he arrived at those from years of "doing Prince at karaoke." But how many people did it take to put together the multi-faceted extravaganza that is Parallax Error Beheads You? Three? Five? Nine? All of the above? No – one: Ben Jacobs a.k.a. Max Tundra, who handles all the many instruments, the vocals and the production. This might be why the album took six years to create.
But why Parallax Error Beheads You? "It's nothing to do with the music," he says of the curious title. "I always try and come up with a semi-poetic but oblique phrase for my album titles. In this case, it's from when you buy a cheap camera, and the eyepiece and lens are separate, and when you take a photo and get it back from the chemists the picture you see is slightly lower in the frame than you'd like - that's known as a 'parallax error.' All three of my LP titles are quite strange and don't have a great deal to do with the music."
And yet for all its instrumental prowess, titular ingenuity and intricate intelligence, Parallax is a pop record. "There are nagging, catchy melodies," says Max, who points out that some of his songs have started to get used on high-profile film soundtracks and TV adverts. "It's for singing and whistling along to. That's what I'd like – to walk past a building site and hear builders whistling a song of mine which they've heard on Radio 1. Some of the sounds and songs are not that far from the sort of pop music made by people like OutKast or Beyonce. Maybe I'm deluded about this, but there are things going on on my record that you might hear on a song by Rihanna or Sugababes."
Could he write a Top 5 hit? "I already have," he reveals. "But I'm saving it for someone like Rihanna or Sugababes. It was written with a girl singer in mind. Hopefully I'll be able to write songs for a few super-pop artists before the next Max Tundra album comes out!"

Because Tyler Seguin and Tim Thomas returned to form, the Bruins are heading back to Boston for another game against the Washington Capitals. Seguin scored at 3:17 of overtime, Thomas made 36 saves, and the Bruins beat Washington, 4-3, yesterday to tie the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series at three games apiece.
Because Tyler Seguin and Tim Thomas returned to form, the Bruins are heading back to Boston for another game against the Washington Capitals.
Seguin scored at 3:17 of overtime, Thomas made 36 saves, and the Bruins beat Washington, 4-3, yesterday to tie the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series at three games apiece.
The defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins never trailed, but needed a stolen pass and a deft bit of skating by Seguin to finally get the decisive goal and avoid elimination.
The series finale is Wednesday night in Boston. The first six games were all decided by one goal, three of them in overtime.
"It's been a dogfight from start to finish," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Both teams here are heading to Game 7 with the same kind of confidence. For us, it's time to take advantage of the home ice that we've fought hard all year to get. We've got to make it count."
Seguin led the Bruins during the regular season with 29 goals and 67 points but was scoreless in the playoffs until yesterday. Thomas, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, was generally outplayed by Capitals rookie Braden Holtby over the first five games of the series.
Not so in Game 6.
Thomas had 35 saves in regulation, and Seguin contributed an assist before beating Holtby to end the game.
"It was a coming-of-age goal there in overtime," Thomas said about Seguin, a 20-year-old with two years of NHL experience.
The pivotal play began when David Krejci intercepted a pass by Nicklas Backstrom and sent the puck to Milan Lucic, who passed ahead to Seguin.
Seguin veered slightly to his right to draw Holtby from the net, then lifted a shot past the rookie to win it.
"I saw the goalie challenging, so I just tried to make a quick move and got lucky it went in," Seguin said. "This series I've had a lot of chances and opportunities and I haven't been finishing them off. It's just really nice to get that feeling of finding the back of the net."
Julien said, "For him to jump on that and be patient enough to skate around the goaltender, it's great to see."
That kept alive Boston's bid to become the first team to win successive Stanley Cups since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98.
The seventh-seeded Capitals, on the other hand, face the prospect of having to win a third game in Boston to advance to the second round.
"Game 7 is a grinding kind of game," coach Dale Hunter said. "We're used to playing it. Every game here has been tough game. Both sides are, I imagine, a little bit banged up. But little bruises, they'll forget about them come Game 7."
The Bruins took a 3-2 lead at 11:51 of the third period on a goal by Andrew Ference, who put in the long rebound of a shot by Seguin. Ference thrust his fist into the air in delight in front of the Bruins' bench to celebrate after his first goal of the series.
But Washington wasn't done. Off a faceoff in the Boston zone, Alex Ovechkin controlled the puck with his left skate and promptly ripped a shot that skidded between Thomas' legs with 4:52 left in regulation.
It was not unlike Saturday's game, when Thomas gave up a lamentable goal to Troy Brouwer in the closing minutes of Washington's 4-3 victory.
Julien knew Thomas would bounce back yesterday, and the coach was right.
"I thought he played a huge game," Julien said. "I knew he was upset (Saturday) after the game. Just by his reaction, I had no doubt he was going to come up huge today."
Boston's Rich Peverley opened the scoring at 5:56 of the first period by deflecting a shot by Ference past Holtby. It was the first time in five games and only the second time in the series that the Bruins notched the game's initial goal.
The lead was short lived. After gaining possession of the puck on top of the left circle, Washington defenseman Mike Green twice drew his stick back before choosing the right moment to launch a slap shot that soared past Thomas' left shoulder and into the net at 9:47.
But the Bruins went up, 2-1, seven minutes later on a power-play goal by Krejci, who ended Boston's 1-for-16 struggle with the extra man. Krejci entered the center of the Washington zone, dropped a pass to incoming Lucic on the left side and then tipped in the return pass.
In the second period, however, the Capitals' penalty-killing efficiency came heavily into play. After Ovechkin received a four-minute penalty for bloodying the nose of Zdeno Chara with a high stick, Washington limited the Bruins to a single shot on goal while short-handed and even managed a decent shot of its own.
The Capitals pulled even with less than a minute left in the period. Backstrom charged down the right side and waited until Thomas and Chara committed themselves before sending a backhand, cross-ice pass to Jason Chimera, who slammed the puck into the net before Thomas could move back across the crease.
Washington outshot Boston, 15-5, in the second period. It will take that kind of effort for the Capitals to prevail on Wednesday.
"We've already seen them six times. I don't think anything's going to change on our end," said Washington's Matt Hendricks, who was not surprised at Boston's effort yesterday.
"They're Stanley Cup champs last year. They're not going to die easy."
Series tied, 3-3

A Quebec City university is being criticized for a questionnaire that required job candidates to reveal whether they've been tested for HIV, the date they last menstruated and whether they've been treated for cancer.
I have to hope that some woman or women said "wha? I'm menstruating right now! Sorry 'bout your chair!!".

Food Navigator, a European-focused food news site, reports that The European Union Commission has launched a marketing program aimed at building awareness of organic produce in young people. The main slogan of the program is: "Organic farming: Good for nature, good for you." However, even with that slogan the commission insists it is not claiming any health benefits for organics but rather supporting the growth of the organic sector. It's an interesting concept that a government agency might try and support two different approaches to providing the same product in one sector — conventional and organic produce. Is there a conflict of interest here when these two products are competing for the same consumer monies?
The commission also has an established program supporting farmers who want to change from conventional to organic farming methods. And with projections such as those from The UK Soil Association - a 10% growth for sales of organic products this year, which it says is four to five times higher than for the general food market in a good year — it would seem to make good business sense for farmers to switch over.
In addition, if the secondary marketing slogan for the Commission's campaign is correct, "Organic products meet consumer demand for authentic, high quality and tasty food,"? than perhaps the US Department of Agriculture will consider the EU's organic programs as a model for how to help the businesses in its sector to produce what consumers are demanding. The USDA also says consumer demand for organics has been growing in double digits for more then a decade and that in 2005 the market was about $15.7 billion, 2.5% of total food sales. Ideally the USDA's help for organic businesses would include tools to keep the prices closer to conventional produce, but baby steps first. Just having the US government run an ad campaign for organic farming would be something to see.

|Version 6 (modified by 13 years ago) (diff),
When writing unit tests, it is often necessary to provide alternate implementations of APIs which are used by the code being tested. Relying on the real implementations of these APIs would expand the scope of the test such that it no longer tested only the relevant unit. Various techniques exist for inserting the alternate implementations into the runtime environment so they are used:
- Parameterize the objects which provide the implementations, as to
__init__or as attributes on the object the methods of which are being tested.
- Factor usage of these implementations into well-defined functions or methods and them override those to provide the alternates.
- Replace names in the global scope of the functions being tested.
- Replace attributes on module objects which are used by the functions being tested.
These all accomplish the desired goal. However, each requires a somewhat ad-hoc approach to the problem, and rarely is any of the resulting test fixture code reusable except across very similar test methods. The first involves expanding an API in a way often only exploited by test code. The second often requires the definition of a new subclass solely for the use of the test code. The third and fourth are less invasive, but require even more whitebox knowledge of the code being tested and are prone to unexpected failures when the implementation changes in an otherwise trivial or straightforward manner.
In Progress...
Trial should expose a declarative API for modifying a particular global scope during a particular test. The best form for such an API would be a function decorator, since that would preclude the need for matching bookends in
setUp and
Here's a sketch of how such a thing might work:
## mything.py ## from foo import bar def doIt(): return bar.value() + 1 ## test_mything.py ## import mything from twisted.trial.unittest import TestCase, mocked class MockBar(object): def value(self): return 4 class MyThingTest(TestCase): def test_myGlobalThing(self): self.failUnless(mything.doIt(), 5) self.failUnless(self.mock['bar'].valueCalled) test_globalMyThing = mocked(foo, bar=MockBar)(test_myGlobalThing)
Here, the 'mocked' decorator takes a single positional argument indicating the target for temporary rebinding and
**kw indicating the names to temporarily rebind.
This doesn't address the fact that the implementation being tested might change to use different globals without the test being updated. Also, the use of a decorator might be a good idea, but eliminating the need for setUp/tearDown isn't the primary motivating concern here.
I don't understand how that might be addressed. The implementation might always change to do something the test isn't testing, and then it's the implementor's responsibility to change the test, or the reviewer's responsibility to change it. The reason I suggest a decorator rather than setUp/tearDown is that I don't see setUp/tearDown as "declarative". You can imperatively mutate global state in setUp, and forget the imperative command in tearDown to reverse it, which silently corrupts global state in the test.
I also still don't understand why we're using a wiki page rather than a ticket, especially now that we've gone into discussion mode.
- Ditto on 'wiki vs ticket'.
- A concrete improvement can be made without implementing a fully declarative interface.
- teratorn has already implemented a thing called 'masker' (see source:sandbox/teratorn/masker.py). If it were made to be re-usable, then it could helpfully simplify many tests.
- A feature like
addCleanupcan go a long way to solving the tearDown problem. Simply put,
addCleanupregisters functions to be called after

Nice, did you scan this? It looks more like you took a picture
looks pretty cool, also for the fact that mike is in the one corner and sandy in the other as an metapha for their long distance relationship (what do they know? mine is 2000km away), really good work! *David and Paulo Thumb up!*
But now i will hit the bed, its 1:25 in the morning. ^^
Is it just me, or does Sue look a little like a Pikachu?
Anon #2 does have a point. Sue does kinda look like a Pikachu. She just needs bigger ears and moe=re red cheeks.
I honestly like Rachel in this more than any others.
If u have a A4 scanner, you could scan twice and put it together :3c
My, my, Daisy! Aren'twe YELLOW today? Also why does Kizuna have a halo while carson doesn't?
Otherwise really nicely done. The JasminexPauloxLucy scene looks great, as well as the expressions of Daisy and Abbey.
Heh, pretty cute picture.
I think if you had a digital camera, you could've setted it to macro (which makes close objects more clearer)
real cute :3
omg i finally logged in!!
Poor Tess, trapped between Jessica and Rachel.
Punch Paulo in the face Jasmine!
He he.....why's Paulo hugging Lucy? OH THAT &$%# I'LL END HIM
Abbey is so CUUUUUTEEEEEEE
This is awesome! Did a great job!
i admire ALL of your drawings! this is a classic picture which will stand out from all the pictures in the gallery!
I love it, I LOVE IT!!! It seems a work made by Taeshi

Do/did you:
1. Say nothing and do the stupid thing suggested because it's somehow easier/better to do what you're told.
2. Say nothing and do the stupid thing suggested because you are probably wrong and your advisor is probably right and the reason you think the idea is stupid is probably because you don't understand it.
3. Say nothing but find a way to avoid doing the stupid thing suggested (because you are convinced it really is stupid).
4. Ask some questions to make sure you really understand the suggestion, and, once you are convinced it really is stupid, tentatively suggest that maybe that isn't a good idea (maybe even suggest a better idea), or some other response that involves a bit of thinking, exploring, discussing.
5. Say "That's stupid" (or a more polite equivalent) and explain why you think so. If you say something like this, I am also curious as to whether this is an easy thing to say to your advisor (who perhaps enjoys debates about ideas and doesn't mind being corrected) or whether it is extremely difficult (because your advisor might have a bad temper, hate criticism etc.).
I can think of other possibilities, and I am sure there are many more I have not thought of, but mostly I am just curious about the range of responses.
Does anyone think there are trends by academic discipline or are the results likely to be completely scattered because all fields have a wide variety of personalities?
The reason I was thinking about this aspect of grad-advisor interactions is because I was remembering an incident in which a grad student misunderstood an advisor's suggestion. The actual suggestion was very reasonable (says the advisor, who is not me, by the way) but what the student thought the advisor said was bizarre. The student did it anyway, without question. That's a somewhat different case, but is a variant of option #2 above. In this case, the advisor in question doesn't think there was any lack of confidence involved by the student; the student just didn't think and did what s/he (thought s/he) was told.
When I was a student, I used to do something approximating #4, but sometimes it would be a multi-stage process. My advisor would make a suggestion (in fact, he rarely gave me any suggestions or directions, but it did happen on occasion) and, if I didn't understand it, I would ask a few questions, but then I would go away and try to figure the rest out myself. If I figured out what he was saying/asking, fine; if I still didn't, or if I convinced myself he was wrong, I'd go talk to him again. I think that approach is quite common.
Is the direct approach of #5 (even the polite variant) the most rare? As an advisor, I have found it to be somewhat rare, but I think that as long as there is a healthy dose of the #4 approach (questioning, but in a more tentative way), some good discussions can take place and stupid ideas can be discarded and replaced with better ones.

Hello there!
For some reason I am getting an error when I try to bring a mesh from Maya 2013 to Zbrush. Because I just wanted to test Goz, I took the demo head, goz to maya, I moved a few edges in maya and than I pushed the newly created GoZ button. This is where the problem kicks in. In zbrush I get the following Error: "Missing Face data. Operation canceled" … What is this? And how can I fix it? I would appreciate it a lot some one would help fix this today since I have quite a lot to work this weekend. Thanks a lot!

Melrose Scouting Productions Podcast #133: I Wish I Was A Boy Scoutstevejb68 on November 3, 2013 in funny, Humor, podcast
If you have been involved with the Cub Scout or Boy Scout program for a year or longer you have probably seen a group of Scouts perform the I Wish I Was A Boy Scout skit. Or maybe you have already participated in performing the skit already. Either way, you have discovered that it is a silly skit, easy to learn, and fun to do. It is the type of skit that is easy for newer Scouts to learn. I have discovered that even if the performers get the words or actions wrong it will still be a hilarious skit.
The video is an oldie but a goody. It is from Boy Scout Troop 68's Laughs For Lunch Show held in January 2000 at the Melrose High School auditorium. These five older Scouts put a lot into the skit and had a lot of fun with it, as did the audience watching them. It is a short skit, only about three minutes long.
This video features Alex, Andy, Ben, Chris, and Jesse.

The older my daughter gets, the more I realize just how harsh this world is.
Maybe it's because something happened in me once I turned thirty. Maybe it was all in my head, or maybe it really is a phenomenon that many experience upon leaving their twenties...all of a sudden, I didn't care. I didn't care what the world said was beautiful or in, I was doing my own thing. I didn't care what people said about me, I was doing my own thing. It's really made life so much more enjoyable for me. In these past six or so months especially, I have discovered that it's not up to me to fix something (or someone) or make sure someone is happy with the choices I have made (or even explain them)...I have my God and I have my little family and I am happy as a clam. It doesn't mean that I don't value friendships and need those important people in my life...it just means that I have redefined the "important" in my life.
This phenomenon that I experienced when I said goodbye to my twenties has made my heart ache for my little girl even more...if only it wouldn't have taken me so long to discover who I am and be comfortable with that. My heart aches when I hear her criticize herself in any way...most recently her concern over "looking fat". That word is like nails on a chalk board to me...I hate that word. I especially hate it when it is coming out of the mouth of my precious baby girl as she uses it to describe how she looks in a pair of jeans.
After baby one and baby two did a number on this momma's body, I have been all about not letting myself go. I have worked hard to get myself back in to shape and along the way, fell in love with running. It's a lifestyle for me...an outlet...and has provided me with a sense of self and shown me just how strong I am. I am comfortable in my own skin and hope and pray I can teach my daughter by example.
I am learning though that I don't have to teach her to criticize her own body. This world is full of picture perfect women up on billboards, beautiful flawless faces on T.V., flat stomachs staring at you as you stand to check out at the grocery store....and she's been watching...but, this momma is not about to let my baby girl buy in to that...no mother should.
Just when I was ready to take drastic measures...and wondering if our countless conversations have been sinking in...I was pleasantly surprised to listen to a conversation she was having with a friend while they were working on a school project together in our kitchen.
Her project partner, a little boy who she's been in the same class with since they were in first grade, out of the blue said something about him being chubby and his belly being big...even boys can be self conscious. I wondered what my princess was going to do and waited, like a fly on the wall, not saying a word. He grabbed his stomach and shook it. My princess got up and went on to say that it was no big deal...everyone has that. She stood up and demonstrated how her thighs shake back and forth when she wiggles her legs. They laughed about it and went on making their school project together. Not only was she sympathetic, she was also able to bring light to a subject, pass it off as no big deal, and move on.
There are days where I feel as if I can do nothing right when it comes to raising my kids. My shortcomings and failures stare me right in the eyes and convince me that my kids will most definitely need therapy. But most often, there are moments like this one...that I am so proud of my children and wonder in the grace of God that he would entrust me with these three precious lives.

Greenwich cops charge Bridgeport man in July robbery
After a two-month investigation, police apprehended a Bridgeport man Monday night in connection with a July armed robbery of Estate Treasures, a consignment shop in Riverside.
Lakeem Jetter, 18, of 519 Hawley Ave., Bridgeport, was arrested on North Street, in Stamford, by Greenwich detectives with the assistance of the Stamford Police Department. Jetter was charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree larceny, first-degree conspiracy at robbery and first-degree conspiracy at larceny.
Police said they expect to charge a second suspect in connection with the crime who has already been charged in a July 29 robbery of a jewelry store in Fairfield.
Moses McCree, 20, of White Street, Bridgeport, was arrested by Fairfield police on Sept. 4 and charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree larceny, first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and first-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, according to court records.
McCree's charges stem from a robbery at Shaw Jewelers, 525 Tunxis Hill Cut Off, Fairfield. Fairfield police said McCree wore a business suit during the robbery and took off with an undetermined amount of merchandise and cash. Greenwich police confirmed Tuesday they have an active arrest warrant for McCree in connection with the July incident in Greenwich.
On July 13, two masked gunmen burst into the Riverside shop, taking jewelry and running. A store employee chased the two men into the street and called 911 but quickly lost sight of them, according to police. The employee suffered minor injuries after falling during the chase, police said.
Police said the two men stole an estimated 259 articles of jewelry worth approximately $250,000 from the consignment store at 1162 E. Putnam Ave. The jewelry has not been recovered, police said.
Detective Timothy Powell said the break in the case came as the result of investigative work between numerous agencies in the county.
"This whole investigation was a collaborative effort from several municipalities," said Powell. "Other departments are still investigating." Powell said he could not release any further details about the investigation due to pending cases in surrounding towns.
The July 13 morning robbery sparked a widespread manhunt for the two suspects. A blue Mitsubishi left in the store's parking lot was reported stolen in Bridgeport the same day as the robbery, police said. State Police were asked at the time to check cameras on Interstate 95 to see if there was any unusual activity, including if the suspects emerged from the trees behind the store and onto the embankment along I-95. It is not clear if the cameras or the car led to Monday's arrest.
Greenwich police said the consignment shop may have been a target because of the proximity to Interstate 95.
Jetter was held on $250,000 bond Monday. He was scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford Tuesday.
McCree is being held on a $350,000 bond. He is due back in Superior Court in Bridgeport on Sept. 22.
